Abstract
“Healing through meeting” is the greatest gift that one person can give to another. What occurs between the healer and the one to be healed is seldom addressed. It is not a therapeutic technique, but rather the “ ...unfolding of the sphere of the between, or that which Martin Buber refers to as the ‘dialogical.’” It is here that partnership of existence takes place, and it is here that healing occurs.
